LUCA'S POV-

I wake up and notice that I'm in my true form, a sea monster. Did it rain? I look to my left and see Alberto sleeping. I stare at him for a second. He sleeps so peaceful, I wonder if I sleep that perfect too. " Buongiornooooo! " I hear someone say. The voice doesn't sound like Giulia's voice. It sounds older. Like a 17 year old girl or something.  I look down and see..a girl with long wavy black hair and brown eyes. She seems awfully familiar. Besides her stands Giulia, She doesn't look happy at all. " Good morning! " I say back. " Are you guys coming to play with us? " The girl asks. " Uhm- " I was interrupted by Alberto making a noise and opening his green eyes a little. Did I wake him up? " Oh I'm sorry did I wake you up? " I ask. Alberto yawns really loudly. " No...no you didn't " He says. It's quiet between us, probably because we're so close to each other. I start to blush and he does too but really lightly. " Luca..." Alberto started off " I- "  Alberto was interrupted by Giulia. " Mamma mia! Are you guys coming or not?! " Giulia yelled.
" Do you want to go with them? " I ask Alberto. " Sure " He answers. " Yeah we're coming!  " I wonder  who that girl is and why she's suddenly hanging out with us. Not that I really mind, it's just a surprise I guess. I climb down the treehouse
" come on Alberto, they're waiting " I say.
" Ok ok but who's that girl with Giulia? I've never seen her " Alberto asks. " I don't know either Alberto " I answer. I arrive at the ground and so does Alberto. " This is Lucia...she's...Ercoles..... cousin.... " Giulia explaines. I widen my eyes. " Wait what " Alberto says. " Oh! I'm not like Ercole I promise! I'm much more nicer....most of the times " Lucia says. I laugh a bit. " You have the girls version of my name, Luca " I think out loud. " Yeah I've noticed that too " Lucia laughs. I look at Alberto, he didn't seem to happy. " So who's ready to swim! " Lucia asks excited. " Giulia...a word? " Alberto said. Pulling me and her away from Lucia. " What are we doing hanging out with Ercoles cousin?! It could be a trap for all we know! We can't befriend her " Alberto says loud enogh for her to hear at least something. And she probably did because she looks sad " I know! That's what I thought too, but she has no friends because if Ercoles and I felt bad! " Giulia defended herself. " I'm not coming! Does she even know...well...our secret? " Alberto whisperes the last part.
" Are you guys talking about me? " Lucia asks laughing a bit.
" We-well only good stuff! Don't worry " I murmur. Alberto looks at me confused. " Why do you always stutter? " Giulia asks. " He only does when he's nervous or lying " Alberto says. I roll my eyes. I don't stutter? " Anyways, I'm not going! I don't even trust her, and what so we have to believe that a 24 year old woman just wants to hang out with 14 year olds? " Alberto closed his eyes and crossed his arms when he said that. " Well actually, she's 15 " Giulia stated. " Oh " Alberto said, " well I still don't trust her " Alberto adds. " I say we give her a chance, I mean you should never judge a book by its cover, or book family? " I smile at Alberto. Alberto rolls his eyes and sighs. " I guess " he murmurs. I grab his arm " let's go! " I exclaim. 

ALBERTO'S POV-

I still don't trust her. I just said yes because I know how much Luca likes to meet new friends, wether he admits it or not. And I'm bored so this should be interesting. We walk to the sea. " So, uh Lucia " Luca started off. " Are you enjoying the summer break? " Luca asks. He's still holding my arm I notice and blush a little. " Well not really, I don't have anyone to talk to " Lucia looked down as she said that. I roll my eyes. She seems so fake. I hear something behind me and look back, but there's nothing there? Probably some kids. I look back at Giulia who seems really happy, I wonder why. " Hey so question, does seamonster hatred run into your family? " I ask. Luca squeezes my arm. I look at him confused. " What it's a question? " I say.
" Well yes, but don't worry I already know about your secret! " She says smiling. I still don't trust her. This is definitely a trap or something. We arrive at the water and Giulia and Luca don't hesitate into jumping into the water. Luca turns into a sea monster. I roll my eyes and sit at the ocean. " Are you not going to swim? The weather is perfect for that " Lucia says. I shake my head. She then jumps into the water leaving me alone. I don't like her nor do I trust her. I notice Luca catching a glimpse at me before going underwater and disappearing.
